Touche. But compared to the machines, Hydra seems practically benign. These people consider themselves the last of the free humans. That responsibility probably takes priority over transparency.
That responsibility means they should be striving to be better than humanity used to be. They should be trying to be something worth saving instead of the kind of people who see their people as expendable, to be quietly sacrificed on the altar of their progress.
Well they weren't voted in by me. They're taking time that those people probably don't have to sit around talking about whether or not they should sacrifice human lives. That is never a debate that needs to be had.
That might be true. But there are just as many scenarios where it isn't.
I was once on a mission where Russia had sent a ship to Santiago-de-Cuba with intention for it to deviate and enter American waters near Cape Caneveral. There was an altercation, Russia claimed the ship was operating outside its jurisdiction and left everyone to their fates. Any evidence to the contrary was destroyed before they were captured.

It's not like it's a dictatorship. The council were voted into power and they're taking their time debating on what to do about their people.

Keep in touch, Quake. If you do decide to train all over again, I can put you in contact with some good people.
